‘Skypecasts’ coming to your blog soon
Internet telephony provider Skype plans to offer bloggers and others the ability to hold audio chats in the next version of its Net telephone product, co-founder Niklas Zennstrm said Tuesday night at the Web 2.0 Summit here.
The next version of Skype will enable people to post a link on a blog or Web site that will take people to a public chat room when clicked on, he said during a question-and-answer session during dinner.
The live chats would be “Skypecasts,” which Zennstrm described as public conversations or audio conferences that people can moderate. He would not provide a timeline for the features except to say it would be “soon.”
